Aberdeen must target the group stages of European football every season to boost the club’s reputation. The Dons will kick-start their Uefa Europa Conference League campaign with a Pittodrie clash against BK Hacken on Thursday. However, more importantly, playing group stage football would also elevate Aberdeen’s status on the European stage. However, it takes more than that and clubs like Aberdeen, Celtic, Hibs and St Johnstone must also play their part in the revival. Last season Aberdeen beat Faroe Islands part-timers NSI Runavik 6-0 at Pittodrie in their Euro opener, but BK Hacken look a much tougher prospect.
